“A new day begins. Good morning everyone and thank you for joining me and sharing all this time together. Today We close life playing soccer, enjoying the ball. Get up, go to training, spend hours in the locker room, enjoy the grass, touch the ball, travel, games… so on. 705 with my Sevilla, 39 more with Sevilla Atlético, who are honored to play in a stadium named after me 183 games in four years with City in all competitions y: 61 of my choice is distributed 56 with absolute teams and five with sub-21s. Lucky to lift trophies Wherever I’ve played I’ve shared trophies but they haven’t changed my behavior in any way because I’m still a simple boy and from my football club Sevilla. The new day will be difficult for me, that’s why I want to start thanking Pablo Blanco for his eyeswho called me to make my debut as a Sevilla player when I was 15 and Although it may seem like a lie, the road did not seem long, on the contraryit even seemed short to me. Playing football is the best for me, I enjoy it and that’s why I’m 29 years old. I live to bring joy to my Sevilla and Spanish fans y: If it hadn’t been for the hip, I would have continueddefinitely take it. That’s why it seemed to me it’s very hard to say “it ends here” but it’s not new. I suffered from this disease for four years and, honestly, I couldn’t stand it anymore. When I summed up the games I played, I didn’t hope for them the ones I went with my grandfather Antoniowho also took me to training. These are moments that come to my mind, unforgettable moments with me parents Paco and Aurora. Thank you mom, thank you dad, I only hope I was on your level to return the love you have shown me all my life. I am sure you are proud of your five children, Paco, Marcos, thank you brother for your help in the journey we went through together, which was not easy. Jose Maria and Javin. I love you. I hope that my behavior and devotion to family make you happy, the values you taught me, not changing and being the same as the first day, the same that I pass on to my children,” he began.
“Then the person who brings me balance and moderation came into my life, my love, Alejandra. I want to thank you. Alejandra what? never leave me alone not even in the worst moments. I relied on him in times of trouble, he helped me, understood me and It has come to me because of how I live with football. He put up with my bad faces, my mood swings and my loneliness. When we lose, I’m one of those who don’t want to see anyone. It’s not easy to live in those moments and Alejandra, you showed me that you understand me like no one else in this world. Thank you for your patience and thank you , that you love me so much, Ale. We made a family Jesus and Romeo, my two little ones, my two jewels, the reason for my life. Together with your mother, we have instilled in you the values we were raised with: passion, respect and humility, and you are also Sevillian, which adds up. These six months have been a gift Knowing the hardships I have endured, these years are suffering hip problemsbut in recent weeks, the disease has worsened. Getting back to training and playing was very expensive but also very emotional.. Why leave it in December? What I wanted was to accompany my colleagues in this part, it was a real gift to be with you,” he added.
“We are coming two very difficult years and I was looking to be with the team, to be a key player in this transition help the youngest and pass on my experience How to understand how big “Seville” is?. Joaquin from Caparoswhich gave me the opportunity to fulfill my dream of playing in the first team, I have been with many coaches and learned from all of them. The debut was against Espanyol, I came on instead of Paco Gallardo, and from that moment we achieved many things. Maybe the first Europa Leaguethat goal in the semi-final by our great Antonio Puerta, could have been the most unique after all these years, but all the titles are wonderful. I don’t forget the very difficult personal moments I had to overcome. Read The sad losses of Jose Antonio Reyes and Antonio Puerta. I decided to wear Puerta’s number because it was my desire to give everything for him in every game. and it must be to give joy to the worshipers in his memory that two sevilistas who left us too soon and too young”. Once again the memory of his friends and mentions of Sevilimo.
“My experience at Manchester City was very satisfying. Manuel Pellegrini’s help allowed us to win and enjoy away from home. I am only from one club, but I have to divide my resume into two teams. At City I was happy and matured as a player and as a person. I will be very grateful to his people and fans. South Africa 2010, that afternoon at Soccer City in Johannesburg will remain in the memory of the Spaniards. Participating in a goal-scoring game puts a cake on the cake of a historic feat for our football. Not forgetting Kiev, another unforgettable memory, though This last round with the Luis de la Fuente team has filled me with great joyit was a time of dedication and sacrifice to the end for a happy reward. What a great honor to defend my country! The illusion of always being there gives me great satisfaction. We have restored Spain’s enthusiasm for La Roja. The memories remain and we are proud to have made so many people happy. Thank you, thank you very much from all of you. I leave the most important at the end. You, yes, you, the Sevilla playerwhich is clothed every day with passion, with the emotion and energy to live, with the glory of sharing this feeling, because no one is bigger than you, no one feels the way you do, no one loves this red and white family like you do. No one understands the football pride of this city better than you, no one to lead us on the path to success. How I will miss you! i love you. They say we never give up, so my biggest wish is for the team to live up to the legacy I’ve tried to give every day, which is nothing less than giving everything on the field until my last breath. Let these players and those coming up do the same so you can take them back. Friends, work and don’t give up, dignify this shirt and this shield. Always in my heart because you never forget. I will be a Sevillian until I die. I will miss you very much. Let’s go to my Seville. Long live Seville.
